Historical Information and Application

The Mk.13 torpedo was the most commonly used American aerial torpedo during World War II, especially in Pacific operations. It was widely deployed on carrier-based torpedo bombers such as the TBF Avenger and VT-8. The legendary use of Mk.13 torpedoes occurred during the Battle of Midway in 1942, where their effectiveness significantly influenced the course of the conflict.

Eduard provides three variants in the set—this allows you to build different historical torpedo configurations as used between 1942 and 1945.
